Sony is Reportedly Using Hacker Methods to Take its Stolen Data Offline

Sony apparently Isn't Rolling Over as Hackers Breach and Pilfer its Data. As a Way to Fight Back, the Company is Using Hacking Methods of its Own to Combat Illegal Downloads of its Property, according to Recode. The Entertainment Giant is Harnessing Amazon Web Services (the Backend that Hosts Netflix, Instagram and Many Others) to Launch a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack on Websites Hosting the Stolen Assets, as Recode's Sources Tell it. Given How Vocal the 'Guardians of Peace' Have been so Far during their Campaign Against the Outfit, we'll Likely Know just How Accurate these Reports are in Short Order.
